SQL AlwaysOn configuration

Hi guys,

I'm pretty new to Backup Exec and I'm trying to set up a correct backup plan for a couple of databases in AlwaysOn config. I've some questions:

1) Should I add both SQL servers or just the FQDN of the AlwaysOn cluster (I tried but failed...)?

2) If I add both servers, I could try to backup the databases from both of them but, even if I succeded (there are limitations from what I read), I will end up having 2 different backup sets, while I just want one.

Using pre/post commands could solve the issue of taking a backup from the non-active node but not the 2 backup sets issue imho. Any advice?

 

bye, Dario
